Rafael Palacios is the brother of one of Spain's most celebrated winemakers, and he has built his own reputation in Valdeorras as the master of Godello, the white grape that ranks among Spain's finest. From high-elevation vineyards on sandy, decomposed-granite soils above the Bibei River, Louro is his entry point, a Godello-led white fermented and aged in large oak foudres on the lees. This is the fresh 2024, salty, savory, and super tasty, with the kind of mineral cut that has made these wines so sought after. It overdelivers in a way that makes you want to keep a case around. A brilliant introduction to one of Spain's best whites.

"The 2024 Godello Louro do Bolo from Valdeorras is nuanced, with hay, anise, acacia and a hint of reduction layered over barrel influence. Dry and intense, it balances richness with vibrant acidity, enhancing the variety’s delicacy without losing intensity." —Joaquín Hidalgo

Robert Parker

"The youngest of the portfolio is the 2024 Louro, which has a balsamic, herbal and faintly medicinal nose (it does smell a little of bay leaf, which is what "louro" means in the Galician language!), quite aromatic. It fermented in 3,500-liter oak foudres, where the wine matured with the lees for four months. It doesn't lack ripeness; it comes in at 14% alcohol but retains good freshness and acidity. It's approachable and has a tender texture. They produced 185,000 bottles. It was bottled between April and May 2025." —Luis Gutiérrez
